Our Horrible Characters

28/2/2013

We have been reading The Twits by Roald Dahl and we are going to be writing our own stories about horrible characters like Mr. and Mrs. Twit.

Today we got into groups and made characters! We gave them and name and wrote down some information about them.

This is Mean Max. He smells like stinky mouldy cheese.

This is Nasty Nick . He likes to eat raw chicken and hair!

This is Bad Bold Brian. This meanest thing he ever did was to put a garden hose up his teacher's trousers and turn it on!

This is Devilish Derek. He smells like milk that has been left out for a week!

If Ireland scored 37 points in a match how many tries and penalties would that be?

Our show and tell topic this month was "Artefacts from other places". We saw things from all over the world! Here are some of them

Danny showed us a model of the Burj Khalifa from Dubai. It nearly 1 kilometre tall!
If it was built on our room and you pushed it over the top of it would land somewhere near Applewood!

Cara brought in chopsticks from Vietnam. This is what people is Asia use to eat instead of knives and forks. We tried to use them to pick up bits of paper. It was very difficult!
